Live Wedding Painting

A timeless capture of your special day

It is my mission as your live painter to capture the beauty and energy of your day. A photographer captures realism, a painter captures emotion. My painting style delivers a bright and colorful piece while utilizing a simple color palette. A live wedding painter adds both entertainment and lasting artwork to your celebration. Throughout your ceremony or reception, guests can watch your painting come to life in real time while I capture the atmosphere, emotion, and meaningful details of your day.

what to expect

I will arrive to the discussed location 1-2 hours before the captured moment, set up my easel and begin painting in the background. I may ask the couple to pose for some additional reference photos, or if you want to capture something specific.

I will typically stay at the event between 6-8 hours, and then add the finishing touches in the studio before I ship your finished piece out within 2-4 weeks. Every painting will be equipped with gallery-style hanging hardware so will be ready to hang the moment it makes it home.

moment captured

The most important decision to be made is what moment we want to capture. This can include up at the alter, first kiss, first dance, walking out down the aisle, a bite of cake, a toast etc. I've also seen very touching examples of painting the late father of the bride walking her down the aisle. Anything is possible with a few reference images

Pricing Guide

Every live painting is created on-site during your wedding day and completed with additional studio refinement afterward. My style focuses on capturing the feeling of your day with the couple and your beautiful venue setting as the heart of the piece.

(Pricing is based on weddings within 60 miles of Greenville on Fri-Sun. I am open to travel, but expect additional fees to cover costs)

If you are local to the Greenville area, I am happy to organize a way to hand off the piece to you, otherwise shipping will incur an additional cost, estimated between $50-150 depending on size and distance.

Date Reservation & Rescheduling Policy

A non-refundable retainer equal to 30% of the total package cost is required to officially reserve your wedding date. Because I accept a limited number of events, this retainer secures your date and covers planning, scheduling, and preparation time.

If your wedding date changes, I will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your new date while honoring your original package pricing. Rescheduling is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

If I am unable to accommodate the new date, or if the event is canceled, your retainer will not be refunded. However, rather than losing that value, your retainer may be applied toward a custom artwork commission of retainer value, such as a portrait, venue painting, pet portrait, watercolor keepsake, or other mutually agreed-upon artwork.
